WATERY GRAVES.

A Sloop Loaded with Excursionists Cap
sizes Near New York City-Only Ten
Persons Out of Thirty-Seven Rescued.
New YORK, July 1.-THE sloop Mystery,
with party of excursionistS on board was
capsized off Barren Island at $3.50 O'Clock
last evening. The tide was tearing out
more rapidly than millrace, and a land
breeze that was almost gale gave wild
curl to the waves. The sloop had started
to come about, but the bigness of her load
there were thirty-seven persons on her
caused delay. Then squat struck her.
Over she went, and men, women and
children were thrown into the water. The
tug-boat c.. E. Dean was not far from the
Mystery when she capsized, and Captain
Robe directed her head toward the
unfortunate excursionists. The Mys-
terry was in the channel when
the squat struck her, and the tug
had to round part of Barren Island
to reach her. When the Dean arrived a
little boat manned by Andrew Robinson,
a negro, who had rowed out from Bar
rem Island and picked up five women
and two men, was struggling against
the strong tide. The Dean took the load
on board, and then drew near the Mystery,
which was nearly submerged. Two little
girls, unconscious or dead, were picked
up on the way, and then the body
of a woman was taken from the
water. A young man in a white
flannel shirt jumped overheard from the
Dean, and dived several times under the
sloop IN an effort to secure bodies. The
Dean headed for the Canarsie wharf,
about three miles away. Efforts were
made to revive the conscious woman and
the two girls, and it was found that they
were dead.
The Mystery was returning from Ruffie
Bar, and had good deal of head sail, and
the puffy, squally breeze had the boat at
it's mercy and toppled her over. Captain
David Hendrickson and his son were in
charge of the boat and both are believed
to be lost. The wife of John O'Brien was
on board with her three children and all
were drowned. The Mystery's load was
principally women and children. Among
those lost are the following:
James Burgess, of Hoyt street, Brooklyn, and
child; Marks Stark, wife and one child; Mary
Brendell, a widow, forty-two years old, of 1856
Bushwick avenue, Brooklyn; Mrs. Williams, OF
Williamsburg, whose body was identified Cap
tain David Hendrickson and his son; Mrs. John
OBrien and three children.
The conflicting stories Of the survivors
and the chance that there may be some
rescued people at Barren Island, makes it
impossible to give exactly the number lost.
The boat load is generally believed TO have
mum bered thirty-seven, and the most hope
full accounts of the rescues fix their num-
Der at ten. This would make twenty
even drowned.

Of these opinions, and unmoved by any feeling,
although deeply regret the condition. I can
Dut regard 1t my duty to refrain from con-
lnpuLng by my action to SO undesirable
a result. Nothing can be of greater I'M
portanee in connection with the encamp-
ment than the free and unrestrained mani.
festation by its participants Of that patriotic
fraternity >of feeling suggested by the selec-
ton OF the place of holding it, and which
is at once the proof of the complete success
OF their arms and the highest glory of our
veteran soldiers. I am constrained, there
fore, to Withhold my proposed acceptance
OF your invitation In doing so. I assure
you OF my unfeigned hope and sincere wish
that In the agreeable entertainment prepared

THE FEELING AT ST. LOUIS.
ST LOUIS, July S.-A great deal of feel
ing is manifested here on account of the
action of members of the G. A. R. which
has resulted in the Presidents declination
OF the invitation to visit this city this fall.
The general comment on the Presidents
letter is favorable, the Grand Army COM
ing in for good deal of condemnation. A
special Grand Army committee goes to
Madison, Wis, to-day to consult with GEN
eral Fairchild
The Citizens Committee met yesterday
afternoon in the Office of Mayor Francis
and appointed committee to draw up res
olutions to be submitted to a mass
meeting of citizens which will be
called to assemble at the Mer-
chants Exchange this afternoon. These
resolutions will embody an in
vitation to the President to visit this city
during fair week early in October, or at
some other time that may suit his con-
venience, and will promise him an enthu-
siastic reception. A citizens committee
will then be appointed to again visit the
President and try to induce him to come.
WILL NOT COME WEST AT ALL
WASHINGTON, July Sit is practically
settled that the President will not visit
the West at all during the present year.
The abandonment of his proposed
visit to st. Louis has resulted in
wholly changing whatever plans he
had made for visiting Western cities. 1t
was said at the White House yesterday
afternoon that the only plans the Presi-
dent has made for leaving Washington
during the summer and autumn are those
for his visit to Clinton, N. Y, on the 18th
inst, which will probably not consume al
together more than weeks time, and for
his visit to Atlanta in November on the oc-
caSion of the Georgia State fair
